Can Rogue Waves Be Predicted Using Characteristic Wave Parameters?

Can Cascades be Predicted?

A famous instance is a picture of a receipt taken by a customer at a hunting and fishing chain store called Cabela. The receipt listed a 2.3%“medical excise tax,” which was supposedly levied as part of the Affordable Care Act. This was seen as evidence that there is a hidden tax that consumers are paying for the ACA. The store later cleared this up as being a “software glitch” on their part. Th...

Rogue waves

“It came from nowhere, snapping giant ships in two. No one believed the survivors ... until now” screamed the cover of New Scientist magazine on 30 June 2001, introducing an article entitled “Monsters of the Deep”. The power and danger suggested by the term “rogue” add to the public fascination with extreme ocean waves, but they also present important and challenging scientific problems and pro...

Rogue waves for a long wave-short wave resonance model with multiple short waves

A resonance between long and short waves will occur if the phase velocity of the long wave matches the group velocity of the short wave. In this paper, a system with two distinct packets of short waves in resonance with a common long wave is studied. Breather solutions are calculated by the Hirota bilinear method, and rogue wave modes (unexpectedly large displacements from an otherwise calm bac...

Rogue waves and wave breaking – How are these phenomena related?

According to prevailing ideas, the formation of rogue waves and the onset of wave breaking share a common physical framework: energy focusing within nonlinear wave groups. For 2D (one horizontal spatial direction) wave packet evolution, this correspondence appears to be very close. However, the situation is less clear for 3D propagation, and in the open ocean, observed breaking of dominant wind...
